Mob Violence!

Post by **thibodeaux** » Fri Sep 25, 2009 8:52 am

We've all heard about the evil right-wing astroturf mobs, dispatched by Glen Beck and Fox News to shut down town halls, drown out opposing views, and commit acts of mayhem. Right? Stop me if you haven't heard about these mobs. Go watch Nancy Pelosi talking about how she's afraid.

Well, it's true. There's an angry mob in Pittsburgh:

[P]rotesters rampaged through the city centre of Pittsburgh tonight, smashing up shops and throwing rocks at police, as officers used tear gas and baton-charges in an attempt to bring them under control.

At least they aren't lynching Census workers, I guess.

Also, protesters, at a G20 Summit? No wai!

Speculation I heard was that it was a bad neighborhood and the census worker knocked on the wrong meth lab door.

"They" are making fake videos showing "military" abducting G20 protesters. Trying to get in on that crazy Iran "military shot the protester chick in the head" action.

Bonus points if you can find this video used in the MSM.

Looks like they dressed from the random sale bin at their local surplus store. They don't even have matching camo.

That, and the first thing I noticed was that they didn't have their pants bloused over the boots.

I feel like if the military were actually going to do that... it'd be SF soldiers in plain clothes... i mean they might all look kind of skinny, but that'd be about the only way you could tell.
